For each of the animal jobs below, we have included a brief description about each organisation. Check out our careers pages for current advice about specific animal related careers.

All of the organisations below offer voluntary placements and occasionally some advertise paid animal jobs. Volunteering is one of the best ways of gaining hands on work experience and training and may lead to an offer of full time employment with an organisation.

We hope to include as many animal welfare/conservation organisations from Europe on this site as possible and will add more as we get them! If you would like to see your organisations’ animal jobs advertised here, please get in touch with us for more information.

MEDASSET – The Mediterranean Association to Save the Sea Turtles is an international non-governmental organisation founded in 1988, working for the conservation of sea turtles and their habitats throughout the Mediterranean. It has been involved in conservation and scientific research programmes, public awareness, environmental education and lobbying decision-makers. Voluntary assistance required.

Nature Watch aims to promote the prevention of cruelty to animals and to conduct and support the publication of information about animal welfare. They condemn all illegal activity, and believe that an evolutionary approach is better than a revolutionary one. Their main campaigns are on animal experiments (in particular those which cause brain damage to primates), badger baiting, and live transport across Europe. Their charitable wing, the Naturewatch Foundation, is involved in pioneering work in Eastern Europe, particularly in Lithuania and Ukraine. Job vacancies are advertised as they arise.
